Hello! Will this work for EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 using HDMI 2.0? I tried out the mac-pixel-clock-patch-V2 without success, but before I attempt to debug the problem I wanted to check if this video card is supported (I noticed that it was not listed). Thanks!

Floris497 commented 7 years ago

Ehm.. I think currently it doesn't.. pascal cards have some problems with HDMI 2.0 but it should work on 900 series cards.. although I'm not sure if they do work in 10.12.6.

howardwkim commented 7 years ago

If I go the HDMI 2.0 to Displayport 1.2 route, will it work on the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050?

Floris497 commented 7 years ago

Yes you have a higher chance for that to work properly.

srxa commented 7 years ago

10.12.6 HDMI 2.0 is not working neither on maxwell or pascal ... Tested with Asus turbo 1070 and Asus strix 980ti

Floris497 commented 7 years ago

Was it working on 10.12.5?

srxa commented 7 years ago

I don't know, I installed fresh 10.12.6. Asus strix 980ti was working on El Capitain 10.11.6.

Floris497 commented 7 years ago

Pascal isn't working with hdmi2.0 as far as I know.. not for my tv.. but also the tv i have is crap.. maxwell i have no idea for current OS.. don't have a card like that..

srxa commented 7 years ago

I have samsung 48JU7500 which is one of better TV's for using as 4k monitors. I can help you with debugging a problem if you give me some instructions what to try.

Tried installing CoreDisplay patcher and rebooting, but I do not see the option for 60hz (currently set at 30hz, and I can also see option for 24hz and 25hz, but no option for 60hz).

Here is what I see when installing the patch:

Howards-iMac:Downloads hwk$ ~/Downloads/CoreDisplay-patcher.command

Am I forgetting a step?

Floris497 commented 7 years ago

Ah so what needs to be done is patching CoreDisplay.. that should do the trick initially. Not sure if it still does, see if you can add any resolutions with switchresx. If not continue to patch IOKit and Nvidia Web drivers for your card model. I'll check in a moment if it needs updating. But I think the old patch can be forced.. be careful with the web driver patch because if you break it you might have no video at all..

howardwkim commented 7 years ago

I want to make sure I understand your instructions:

  1. Patch using CoreDisplay-patcher.command, which can be found in this GitHub repo. This is what I did in my comment above.
  2. Install switchresx to see whether I have an option to switch from 4k@30hz to 4k@60hz using this tool. (Assuming switchresx allows me to change the refresh rate to 60hz, will I will need to purchase switchresx if I want to continue running at that refresh rate?)

If I am still unable to get the 60hz refresh rate with the aforementioned steps:

  1. Patch with IOKit-patcher.command (from this GitHub repo)
  2. Patch with NVIDIA-WEB-PASCAL-patcher.command (also from this GitHub Repo) since I have a GeForce GTX 1050. Note: I already have the latest Web Drivers from Nvidia for macos 10.12.5.

As for your last comment, what does it mean to force the old patch? Is this something I must actively do? And when installing the web driver patch (NVIDIA-WEB-PASCAL-patcher.command), what precautions can I take to ensure that I don't end up with no video at all? Thanks!

As i stated before, I tried all of these options, HDMI 2.0 is not working, meaning you can get maximum 30hz on 4k over HDMI. What I tried: CoreDisplay-patcher.command patch v3 IOKit-patcher.command patch v7 NVIDIA-WEB-MAXWELL-patcher.command patch v1 (in that moment i was trying with 980ti, and there is only v1 patch in script)

I am using EasyRes, which is simillar to switchres x but free, and was working well on 10.11.6. There is an option to select 3840x2160@60hz, but you will only get black screen. Anything above 1920x1080@60hz is not working for me. 30hz works fine. You will not break driver with any of these patches.

howardwkim commented 7 years ago

I am still unable to get 4K@60hz to work. I tried using switchresx and used a setting that turned my signal black and I was unable to change it back, so I reinstalled Sierra.

I am using an HDMI 2.0 cable + Club3D DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 UHD Active Adapter. Sierra 10.12.5. EVGA GeForce GTX 1050. Samsung 40" 4K Ultra HD LED LCD TV UN40KU6290FXZA (identical to Samsung KU6300). UHD Color option is OFF.

  1. I ran CoreDisplay-patcher.command and it installed v1. This is what I saw:
Howards-iMac:Downloads hwk$ ~/Downloads/CoreDisplay-patcher.command
xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', requesting install. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line developer tools.

I reset my computer and tried again, this time it installed v3:

I installed SwitchResX. No native option for 4k@60hz. Under my SAMSUNG monitor within SwitchResX I tried setting the Startup Resolution to 3840x2160@60hz. I also tried creating a Custom Resolution for 3840x2160@60hz. Neither option worked.

Next I installed IOKit-patcher.command and then I accidentally installed NVIDIA-patcher.command. Here is what I saw:

No luck after these two patches. I then tried the correct patch NVIDIA-WEB-PASCAL-patcher.command:

Still no luck. I unsuccessfully attempted to unpatch NVIDIA-patcher.command:

Howards-iMac:Downloads hwk$ ~/Downloads/NVIDIA-patcher.command unpatch
There is no backup file, we can not undo the patch. the patch might not even been done.
Closing..

Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks!

Success! Turns out I was looking in the wrong place for a solution. Summary: Once I changed a few of the setting on my monitor/TV, I was able to get 4k@60hz to work!

If you are not careful with Switchresx, you can end up in a situation where your monitor does not recognize the settings you selected and applied from Switchresx. With the screen blacked out, it's difficult to change the settings back. I followed the troubleshooting instructions on the Switchresx website... unfortunately the only method that worked was reinstalling everything. So the second time I had to reinstall, I discovered some extra settings on my monitor, and everything worked!

Here are the highlights:
